Salads are packed and meals are planned.
Challenges to overcome this week:
- drink water before I eat
- drink 8 oz water per hour
- walk 2 laps around the school per hour
- don't eat extra when I work two late nights

(I tried to blog from my phone last night but it kept kicking me out.)

How did I feel?
Excited to get started. I got sleepy around 1:30. I got cranky around 8:30.What I ate?
I feel like I ate a lot. I got hungry a little but nothing out of the ordinary.
I didn't even put a Hershey kiss or piece of popcorn in my mouth!!
(This is a big accomplishment as I have a huge sweet tooth.)
Breakfast:
Smoothie with 1/2 avocado, 1/2 banana, organic frozen cherries, chia seeds, coconut milk, coconut
water, turmeric, and cinnamon
Morning snack:
blueberries and strawberries with a drop of doTERRA Wild Orange Essential Oil and a sprinkle of cinnamon
almonds
Lunch:
salad of romaine and spinach, chipotle taco seasoned chicken, black olives, 1/2 avocado, a little lime juice and coconut oil
plantain chips and salsa
Dinner:
zucchini noodles, herbed chicken, broccoli, buffalo sauce (whole 30 approved)
Snack
1/2 banana and almond butter.

Exercise:
I did a Sun Salute in the morning and a 40 minute Crossfit workout after work.

I am ready to breathe and become me. How am I not me? Who is me? How did I get here? Where am I going?

The goal of this blog is to keep me accountable to myself. I am beginning a journey into health, fitness and weight loss. Today I spent 3 hours preparing healthy foods to be ready for the week. I will be posting my current health and weight statistics tomorrow. As I close this first entry I eat my last bowl of caramel greek yogurt with chocolate syrup. Goodbye sugar, grains and dairy... I will be ok. Off to take before pics and measurements... yikes
